African Americans in American Presidential Politics<br>
<br>
Since the nineteenth century, the role of African Americans in
presidential elections has changed dramatically. In this talk, Andrew
Hunt, will explore the evolution of black participation in presidential
elections, from the post-Civil War years to the post-Civil Rights era.
It will begin with African Americans who were enfranchised for the
first time after years of enslavement and conclude with the candidacy
of the first African American presidential nominee of a major political
party, Senator Barack Obama.<br>
